Outram School Twilight Mardi Gras

The Twilight Mardi Gras last Friday was shaping up to be the
''best one yet'' as takings totalled more than $21,000,
Outram School board of trustees chairwoman Su Miller said.

The board was hoping to make $15,000-$18,000 in profit, she
said. The money would go towards learning programmes, library
resources and information technology programmes at the
school. The event had gone ''fabulously''.

''The weather was perfect and we had a heap of people through
the gates,'' she said. She estimated more than 2000 people
attended.
